You'll have to wait till next week, 'cause I'm not home at the moment.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Klingon CD is not a CD with Klingon music. It's
a game officially called "Star Trek: Klingon".
The game is an interactive movie, i.e. depending on what you do, the run of
the movie changes.
Personally, I think the game is not that great, but the database behind it
very interesting, because you can stop the game at any time (freeze like a
holodeck) and get information on what you see at the moment. 
The more interesting part of it is the Language Lab, which is great to
practice vocabulary and pronunciation.

Find it at:
/stuff/Merchant.html

Read about it on:

Read about the Lab in our Klingon Wiki:

There is few about operas. Do'Ha'. (unfortunately)

There is one funny pun in {DaS} which means "boot".
Marc Okrand found it after he saw the german movie "Das Boot".

The Hebrew word *qo'Hav* is Klingon {Hov} "Star".

The Klingon suffix for locatives {-Daq} is in turkish "-da".

But I think all these are just coincidence! ;-)

Worst of all, the Turkish language Association is abbreviated TDK -- not to
be confused with TKD!!

That's better, yes. You can look how SuStel does it, or maybe even how they
do in Star Trek. There they usually do not use more than one digit: "Stardate
48650.5"

Quvar.
